PUBLIC NOTICE PURSUANT TO 33 USC 408

PERMISSIONS TO ALTER US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROJECTS

AND THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New Orleans District (CEMVN), is initiating the process to develop a Programmatic Agreement for the “Section 408 Permissions” pursuant to section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act 1966, as amended (NHPA)[1].  This notice is intended to notify the public in accordance with 36 CFR 800.2(d) that USACE proposes to develop a Programmatic Agreement that establishes procedures to satisfy the CEMVN’s Section 106 responsibilities with regard to the programmatic review of these small-scale federal permissions, pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.14(b).  USACE is seeking public comment on the development of a Section 106 Programmatic Agreement. 

 NHPA and the Section 106 regulations[2] require Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings on historic properties during the planning process and consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and other stakeholders regarding these effects.  The Programmatic Agreement will address the effects of its actions on properties that are eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including districts, archaeological sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. The Programmatic Agreement will allow CEMVN to coordinate Section 106 reviews with its evaluation of the proposed action's potential for significant impacts to the human and natural environment required by the National Environmental Policy Act 1969, as amended (NEPA)[3].
